Estimate total active infections from deaths & recoveries #32

This would require some assumptions about case fatality rate and average time from infection to case resolution. A good starting point might be 1% CFR, 1 week from infection to confirmation, 2 weeks from confirmation to resolution - ie estimated infections 21 days ago = deaths today * 100. Maybe we could also provide sliders to see how those assumptions impact the graph.
